Applicator Installation
NOTE
These instructions apply to machines that have an AMP style base plate with the quick release feature. Machines with the
Universal style base plate, do not have a quick release feature and require a hex wrench to install an applicator. Machines
with the JAM style base plate use a swing handle to release applicators. Removal is in the reverse order of installation.
Install the proper applicator in the quick-change mounting base as follows:
CAUTION
Make sure that the precision adjustment lever has been returned to the "0" position before installing the applicator. Be sure
that the applicator has the proper feed cam prior to installation.
NOTE
Applicators from AMP-O-LECTRIC Model "K" terminating machine and Model "T" terminating machine can be used in these
machines by using a special replacement cam. Refer to Figure 2.
1. Loosen the quick-release T-handle (see Figure 5) and slide the applicator base clamp down.
2. Place the applicator on the quick-change base plate, then slide it back until the two notches in the
applicator base engage the stops at the back of the quick-change base plate. At the same time, guide
the ram post into the ram post adapter.
3. Slide the applicator base clamp UP and re-tighten the quick-release T-handle to secure the applicator
in place.
NOTE
When using Applicator 567200-2 (originally intended for use with AMP-O-LECTRIC Model "K" terminating machine), loosen
the quick-release T-handle, slide down the applicator base clamp, and remove the rear stop located on the left side of the
base plate. Install the rear stop (PN 354561-1), supplied with the air feed kit, at the alternate mounting position on the base
plate. See Figure 4.
4. Set the crimp height and insulation crimp discs so that the letters and numbers on the applicator pad
align with the front pad on the ram post adapter.
5. If the applicator is an air-feed type, connect the airlines to the valves located on the back of the
machine.
NOTE
Quick Disconnect Coupling 23238-1 is required to run air-feed applicators.
6. Adjust the reel support for side-feed or end-feed product, depending on the applicator being used.
7. Mount the terminal strip guide on the left sheet metal guard for side-feed product, or on the right sheet
metal guard for end-feed product, depending on the applicator being used.
8. Mount the terminal reel on the reel support. Thread the terminal strip through the guard and into the
applicator according to the instruction sheet included with the applicator. If necessary, adjust the
lubricator bowl.
9. Align the product reel to the applicator by adjusting the reel flanges.
10. Close the guard.
NOTE
The guard door must be closed in order to operate the machine, unless you are in the Jog (With Guards Disabled) Mode. See
Paragraph 4.4.C.
